Starry Sky Railway: Opening Performance - Taixu Sword God

"It's okay, it's okay, keep going."

After watching Yan Huan leave with lingering fear, Pera patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn it! You can't handle the game, so you want to flip the table, huh?"

At night.

The museum finally closed its doors safely.

"Ugh."

Pera stood outside the museum, gazing at the gate in the night, and sighed deeply.

"How could something so simple almost lead to the downfall of the nation?"

Calculate the time.

Since the three powers divided the country, Danheng should be coming here tomorrow.

In Pera's eyes, Danheng was the only normal person among the three giants of the train.

I hope everything goes well tomorrow.

……

That night.

Yan crawled into bed.

He reached out and turned off the desk lamp.

Slowly closed his eyes.

Although I always feel like I've forgotten something.

……

In a vast white world.

A young girl treks through the night.

As I walked, the snowflakes gradually stopped.

Walking on the snow and looking around, it seemed there wasn't a single house in sight.

"Hey, where's that notorious thief? Even in this state, I still can't catch him?"

Kiana scratched her head.

"Maybe he's just ahead. Yes, hang in there, you must hang in there!"

After encouraging herself, she continued her trek.

Crossing towering peaks, traversing frigid rivers, and touching silent forests.

at last!

……Its daybreak.

……

The sight of the several enormous statues before her dazzled Kiana.

What kind of statue is that?

The white-haired girl stepped forward and silently looked up.

The first statue has the head of a young girl, but her body is full of muscles, showing off her biceps, and smiling at Kiana below.

"..."

The second statue depicts a quiet, handsome man, but he is sitting on a toilet with half of his buttocks exposed, clutching a roll of toilet paper.

"..."

The third statue depicts a somewhat familiar-looking person.

He maintained his ferocious posture, his tongue wrapped in a strange arc around a mysterious object in his hand.

"..."

The fourth statue.

"?"

Kiana silently trudged through the snow to the base of the Cocolia statue, and asked in confusion:

"Hey, why does this one look so normal? It's completely different from the style of the previous three. Is there some mistake?"

But when she turned her head, she discovered another statue right next to her.

It was a statue of Danheng with a bright red flower between his lips, looking very dashing, and his hand was resting on the chest of the Cocolia statue.

"..."

"So, this is a combination?"

Thinking about it this way, it suddenly makes sense.

"Snap—Snap snap—!!"

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a camera behind me.

Kiana quickly turned around to look.

It was a group of people wearing winter coats, who were taking pictures of the statues.

"Young lady, move aside! You're blocking our camera!"

"oh oh……"

Kiana silently stepped back, watching helplessly as these people took pictures of the statues.

"Um, what are you doing?" she asked curiously.

At that moment, a man wearing a winter coat turned around:

"Oh, we are a passing caravan. We heard that this planet has broken free from the shackles of the cold wave and there are even survivors, so we came here for sightseeing."

He silently walked towards Kiana, handed her a business card, and smiled:

"Miss, are you a local? How have you managed to survive so many years of cold waves? Could you tell me? Here's my business card, I think we can get to know each other!"

"Huh?" Kiana stared blankly at the business card, embarrassed.

"I...I'm not from around here. I'm chasing a thief. Have you seen him?"

"Thief?" Just then, another man walked over:

"We didn't see the thief, but what you said reminds me of the infamous 'Star Core Hunter' in the universe!"

"Star Core Hunter?" Kiana scratched her head.

"Huh, you don't know this name? You must be a local, you're so out of touch with the world."

The man stood with his arms crossed, when suddenly a thought flashed through his mind:

"Wait a minute, I've heard that the snowstorms on this planet might be caused by the star core. Maybe the star core hunters really did come here?"

"Young lady, you're probably looking for the Star Core Hunter, aren't you?"

Kiana pursed her lips:

"I don't know, I was at the museum before, I..."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more!"

"?"

"I am now absolutely certain that the Star Core Hunter is the one you're looking for!"

"Ah? Why."

"You have remnants of stellar core power within you!"

The man took out the device, examined it, and then confidently said:

"Indeed, there is. I've been to planets with star cores before, and I was very interested in this kind of energy fluctuation, so I made a point of remembering it."

"Is that so? The one I've been looking for... is the Star Core Hunter?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk."

As the man put the equipment away, he clicked his tongue and said, "But if you're looking for them, you should forget about it."

"why?"

"Because they're not to be trifled with!"

About half an hour.

These people explained to Kiana in detail the terrifying nature of the Star Core Hunters in the universe.

"I see." The white-haired girl scratched her head, looking conflicted.

"But I am a museum employee, even if it's temporary, the person did run away right under my nose."

"Oh? A museum? You lost artifacts? They must be very valuable! That makes sense, it's now completely confirmed that it was the Star Core Hunters!"

"Then, what should I do?" Kiana asked hesitantly.

"I've been chasing it for a very long time, but I haven't even caught a glimpse of it."

Upon hearing this, the man slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That makes even more sense! How could an ordinary person possibly catch a Star Core Hunter? Young lady, you're really in deep trouble!"

"Hehe, what do you plan to do next? Keep chasing them? But I advise you to give up that idea. Even if you catch up, you won't be able to do anything about them."

"Then, let's not chase after them."

Kiana lowered her head and muttered:

"I have to go back and deliver the message."

"Hehe, little girl, let me do it. My signal flare can finally be put to good use!"

Soon, everyone backed away.

A streak of light shot into the sky and slammed into the face of a statue.
